A Favorite Sunset

Have you ever seen a sunrise or sunset and think "that's the best ever!"? How can it possibly get any better than this??! I had that experience last Saturday. The sky had been blah all day, partly because of strong winds that stirred up dust, and I wasn't expecting a pretty sunset. It came up suddenly and caught me totally by surprise. I've been a skywatcher for long enough to know there is never going to be a "best ever" sunset... Nature always finds a way to top herself. But this one was certainly one of my favorites!

I like how the sun is bisected by a cloud. As the sun set, I was thinking "show's over!", and was going to head back inside when I noticed the light rays. As the sun continued to set, the light rays became stronger and more visible. Glad I didn't pack up and go inside!!

The photos were taken within a few minutes of each other from my driveway in 29 Palms, CA.

About Me

I have a wonderful wife, two grown children (young man and a young lady), a granddaughter, and lot's of hobbies, some I hope to blog about! I'm recently retired and loving the extra time and freedom that comes with retirement! We split our time between Orange County, CA and the Joshua Tree area.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain
